BROTHER TONY'S
JOURNAL
Vigil O Blessed Mother of the Savior of the World,
we, your children, beg your intercession for peace and safety
from crime and violence for the peoples of the Americas and for the whole world. We ask your maternal intercession for conversion of life
for all men and women, especially those involved in unlawful conduct. We ask for a New Pentecost, a new descent of the Holy Spirit, upon those who would follow your son, Jesus Christ. We recognize you who appeared as La Virgen de Guadalupe
to the poor and humble man now known as San Juan Diego. We come to you in the same spirit of humility with urgent need.

Psalm Prayer
God, our Creator, how wonderfully you made man. You transformed dust into your own image and gave it a share in your own nature; yet you are more wonderful in pardoning the man who had rebelled against you. Grant that where sin has abounded, grace may more abound, so that we can become holier through forgiveness and be more grateful to you.

You have been told, O man, what is good,
Micah 6:8
+
Follow the model of the Blessed Virgin.
Pray to the Blessed Virgin for guidance and comfort.
Yearn as did the young Blessed Virgin for the coming of the Messiah.
In these days, yearn with all your mind and heart Live each day with expectancy.
Live simply, turning away from the desires of the world and the flesh.
Grow still, listening with one's heart for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Allow Jesus to come into your hearts. +
